This short, easy ride sits on Bureau of Indian Affairs land in western New Mexico, about 3 miles from the town of Pinehill. The trail is a 2.4-mile out-and-back with a modest 52-foot climb from its low point at 7,151 feet to a high of 7,205 feet, so the entire trip gains only about 100 feet round trip. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall work best. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run highs around 72°F in May and 77°F in September, while July and August bring the most wet days, about 12 to 13 a month. Several other routes lie close by. Nicoll Lake Rd. - BIA 2005 is about a mile away, and Indian Service Rd. - BIA 2001 is roughly 2.8 miles off. The Mountainview Running Trail is a hike about 2.7 miles away, and Jackrabbit Trail is about 5.9 miles away.
